A fully-featured, advanced and user-oriented 3D CAD and CAM application specially developed for engineers, as well as designers.
What’s new in Fusion 360 2.0.9009:
- A bunch of you have reported to us that changing the quantity parameter on a previously committed Pattern on Path & Circular Pattern Feature didn’t work as intended. Apparently there was a bug preventing Fusion 360 to take the edits. Now it should work properly.
- We also made some stability improvements under the hood so that Fusion 360 runs more stable for some of you experiencing hang-ups.
Read the full changelog
Fusion 360 is a well-thought-out macOS application that provides all the tools and features required to materialize your product.
As follows you have everything you might need, from detailed engineering and conceptual design to machining, automated versioning, built-in sharing and more.
Cloud-based tool featuring mechanical and industrial design, as well as collaboration tools
Before trying out Fusion 360 you first need to check that your Mac has a 64-bit processors, at least 3 GB DDR RAM, 2 GB of hard disk space and a graphics card with at least 512 MB of GDDR RAM.

The installation process is pretty straightforward and it can be completed with just a couple of mouse clicks using the installer downloaded from Autodesk’s website or via the Mac App Store.
With the help of the 3D Surface & Solid Modeling, Fusion 360 allows you to create functional models with flexible direct solid modeling and feature-based solid modeling complete with assembly tools. Moreover, you can translate your design ideas into models by creating organic shapes with T-Splines push-pull commands.
Create custom designs with object snapping and 3D surface modeling
Thanks to the History based Modeling you can effortlessly track and make changes to your design by using the design timeline, as any edit is rendered automatically in order to preview the results in real time.
What is more, Fusion 360 enables you to import OBJ and STL bodies as mesh models in order to create custom designs with object snapping to the mesh surface. When your design is ready, you can prepare it for 3D printing, preview the mesh structure and make pre-print adjustments.
Fusion 360 is also designed to help you assemble components, animate and simulate motion, create relationships and preview the function and fit of the created design.
To check and validate the quality of your model you can use curvature comb analysis, zebra analysis, curvature mapping, draft analysis, interference checking, assembly motion studies and more.
Take advantage of the powerful 3D rendering and visualization tools
On top of all previously mentioned tools and features, Fusion 360 also comes with inspection and analysis tools, 3D rendering and visualization, 3D model viewing, sharing and collaboration features, reliable data management tools, as well as mobile access to your designs from your iOS device.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a comprehensive and versatile 3D CAD and CAM application with built-in form inspection and analysis tools, then Autodesk’s Fusion 360 might just be the app for you.
